Government

   Here is a universal and intrinsic truth about Government, any and all Governments. Government is a political instrument, and as such can only made political decisions. That is, if you invest your personal healthcare to the Government, the Government can only make political decisions concerning your personal healthcare. The result being, Government cannot make personal healthcare decisions for you, only you can make personal decisions concerning your healthcare. For example, your country has only a Government run healthcare system to care for you, and you are now at an advanced age and have prostate cancer. You make a personal decision you want to live as long as you can and request prostate surgery to remove the cancer. The Government makes a political decision, based on actuary charts, that you have already lived a full life and the limited healthcare resources available will be better served reserved for younger citizens who have not yet lived a full life.
    I could make the same case for the situation where you make the Government responsible for your eventual retirement security. What's that you say? We should TRUST our Government to do the right thing for us. Really? TRUST the Government? Ask any American Indian tribe how that works out.
